Aloha,We all know the best part of the Holidays is the gift of family and friends.Hawaii holds a dear place for many people, so I always send a small gift of Aloha. A Hawaiian Holiday card of my block prints goes out to my family and friends in snail mail around mid December.I carve wood blocks and print images that tickle and inspire me. Representing the Holiday Season in Hawaii, is often about Santa on a surfboard, in a canoe or on the beach. My art is also whimsical , but nature inspired and more representative of Hawaii life.This year I decided to make my cards also available for purchase. I printed nine unique images and some are from previous favorite cards, while others are brand new art. Now, my Hawaiian Holiday Cards are available singly at $2.50 each, or in a pack of two for $4.50 or in a pack of nine for $16.00. Choices of a matte or gloss finish are available and envelopes are included. A small shipping fee of $4 for postage and padded envelope for the nine pack will be added.I'm posting five of the images, the rest of the images are surprises, also woodblocks prints and one copper plate etching, each evoking a Christmas feel from Maui Nui. If you like what you see and want to support a Hawaii artist in spreading Holiday Cheer, I will be happy to fill your Christmas card order. I have embedded my name on the images for this blog post only. The actual cards are sharp and clear images with rich seasonal colors. Most cards have a holiday message from Hawaii inside: Mele Kalikimaka , meaning Merry Christmas in Hawaiian.To place an order or for more information, please send an email to : mauibnb@maui.net."Duckie Kalikimaka" "Peace on Earth""Ohelo Berry""Passion Flower ""Ho'okipa Holiday" and 4 more surprise images from my original prints.
